I hope so! What's frustrating about 4K Media is they tend to be "two steps forward, one step back". Like Zexal was an improvement of terms of script localization, but a step back on voice work. Arc-V improved on the voice work front (Yuzu's dad and Gongenzaka being exceptions), but the script was a downgrade compared to Zexal. It is! Vrains seems to be Darkside of Dimensions in terms of quality, which is really exciting. If they keep this up, I think we will eventually get a dub with the Japanese OST.

I definitely feel bad for Auria and the rest of the cast too. I wish it hadn't happened at all, but now that it has, all we can hope is that it somehow works out.

It's impressive how Nelvana has grown because I remember some of their earlier dubs (like Cardcaptor Sakura) made a lot of changes. Yeah. Ideally I like a show to keep its original score, but I don't mind a rescore as much when it's well-done. What irks me about the rescore of the Yu-Gi-Oh! spin-offs in particular is how uninspired the dub score feels not only compared to the original, but even other Yugioh dubs. Like compare Arc-V's dub score to the dub score of of the original Yugioh or Darkside of Dimensions and the difference is staggering. It honestly feels like they're merely covering up silences than actually trying to capture the mood of a scene most of the time.

Yeah, I really wish they could retain the Japanese OST. But otherwise, the Vrains dub looks like it might be decent! If they dub this faithfully from the get go, it could increase the chances of Vrains getting an uncut dub too. It's a lot easier to only have to re-record a line here and there than it is to redub from the ground up like they'd have to with the previous series.

Yep, after Saban finished Doki Doki, the rights reverted back to Toei. Now it's just a question of whether Toei plans to try dubbing another Precure series or if they've given up on it altogether. Saban's rights to Digimon have also lapsed back to Toei. And considering how Tri's dub turned out (which was commissioned by Toei), Appmon and any future Digimon dubs should be in good hands. I hope so! Canada does have some great VAs so as long as the direction is good, it should be decent.

From what I've seen of the Burst dub, it's far better than the dubs of the original series and the Metal series.

To tell you the truth, while I like of what I've seen of the Burst dub, I didn't think the show was that interesting. The original series might have the weaker dub, but I still find it to be the most interesting show of the franchise.

At least Crunchyroll is simulcasting Vrains! Back in March, they had an early screening of the first episode of the Vrains dubs, and I'm cautiously optimistic? No accents, entire scenes with silence, and the score seems to have as much effort put into it as the Darkside of Dimensions dub score. I'm still afraid to get my hopes too high until we see more, but it does sound like Vrains dub might be better than expected. At least Saban no longer has Glitter Force or Digimon now. TPCi is disappointing but not too surprising. I was taken aback by the shake-up with Yokai Watch though. At least most anime nowadays get the uncut faithful dubs they deserve, but it is sad kids series seem to be the one exception.

No shame in that, my friend! I'm glad you like it. And I'm impressed! I had heard Nelvana had been getting better in recent years but didn't know they had gotten that good. Makes me wish Nelvana could take over for some of these other kids franchises!

It is really nice how unique the characters are in this series. I think my only issue with this season was the under-use of Batman in Episodes 2 and 3. Episodes 4 and what I've played of 5 definitely made up for it and were quite a thrill. The voice acting is still top notch too.

Thanks for understanding, though I do hope things get better with Orion.

To me, Ray is alright, but I have no problems with anyone who likes his take on Roy. If it's okay with you, I'm gonna post two links below: one where I explain why I'm not that into Ray's Roy as much as other people are, and another one with some casting choices I came up with (though I did so in the former link as well).
